American Airlines employees debut new uniforms Tuesday

Over 80,000 American Airlines workers will have a new look about them Tuesday. The carrier is rolling out new uniforms for its pilots, flight attendants, customer service agents and maintenance workers after 2 1/2 years of designing, wear testing and fitting the new clothes. “It’s their professional apparel and it needs to work for them,” said director of global marketing Brady Byrnes. “It also has to complement and support and build our brand.” The modern-styled uniforms include grey suits, red and blue scarves and white shirts, similar to the carrier’s redesigned logo and aircraft livery unveiled 3 years ago. American began shipping out the 1.8m new garments over the summer and offered employees professional alteration services to make sure the new clothes fit properly. <br/>
